Good to know
The unit uses natural refrigerant R290 and a dust filter that should be cleaned regularly to keep airflow and performance up. It is a European-market model sold with a 220–240 V supply, so check the plug type supplied for the UK and Ireland. For best results keep doors and windows closed while it runs.
